A daughter of the water

A son of the sun

One leading destiny

One living shunned

-

War raging forth

In all corners of the earth

Only the innocent able

To partake in true mirth

-

She leads the world's hope

Teaching art along the way

He chases a boy

Living life alone, so far astray

-

Changes in character

Growth in places unseen

Evil blossoms good

Whatever that could mean

-

Save her from the pirates

He won't hurt you

A glimpse in the eyes

Did the other see it too?

-

She's with the Avatar

Isn't that right?

He with a noble's daughter

How their conflicted feelings fight

-

They are supposed to be with their chosen

Living not of their own accord

But oh how this desire festers

It's very presence like a reward

-

Ba Sing Se

A tea shop in the lower ring

"Let's explore," she says to her blind friend,

"Who knows what it might bring?"

-

A stop in her tracks

No, it can't be

That unruly eye

The one that can scare see

-

He serves per usual

Earning his wage

Not paying notice

To the customers his uncle does engage

-

"Welcome to the Jasmine Dragon!"

His uncle, no doubt

Her friend is ecstatic

Pure joy as he leads them throughout

-

That voice, so familiar

No, it can't be

His blue-eyed desire

So close, so free

-

He's looking

Will she return the favor?
